The Blue Note

Better than: Getting trampled by a horse.

Review and pics by Richard Gintowt

If I were a sumo wrestler, I’d probably listen to Blonde Redhead to get me psyched up for a match. There’s something sinister about the trio’s music. Very few of their songs are memorable in a hum-them-while-you-kick-ass-on-the-elliptical kind of way, but there’s some secret ingredient that’s mighty seductive.

That elixir inspired a couple friends of mine to drive all the way to The Blue Note in Columbia, Missouri, last night, and having already experienced Wayne Coyne’s Big Top numerous times, I figured I’d hop along.
